HELP US “ROW THE BOAT!”
Our student athletes are exemplary of the values that CAS holds. You’ll find that our coaches support every athlete, academically first, then competitively. Our standards are higher than other high schools and our student-athletes are better prepared for the future!
EXPECTATIONS OF A STUDENT-ATHLETE
And in return, we will give you memories, discipline and plenty of opportunities to push yourself and enjoy yourself while in high school!
WE WEAR OUR COLORS WITH PRIDE, EVERYWHERE!
In accordance with our philosophy of athletics and our desire to see as many students as possible participate in the athletic program while at Coral Academy of Science High School, we encourage coaches to keep as many students as they can without unbalancing the integrity of their sport. Time, space, facilities, equipment, personal preference, and other factors will place limitations on the most effective squad size for any particular sport.
Additionally, our school is small enough, that our teachers communicate frequently to help support all of our students as they enjoy their formidable years!
